My bank has an option to start a regular call from their mobile app (logged in state) which they say is an "authenticated call". I will not have to provide any details on the phone with the service agent anymore.
The button opens my regular Google Phone dialer app.
HOW does that work? I mean, it's just my dialer calling a landline number. Can you send (hidden) metadata through the dialer app on a plain cell phone call? 🤔
@gertvdijk eRR... excuse my ignorance but already having THEIR app - doesn't that already give the game away? Like unless that app's permissions almost decline to use any permissions then "oef course" it can do whatever it wants thereafter? (can check permissions and see how bad they are, even by going to re-install app will show you).
A 2nd obvious answer is "why would the bank give a monkeys if there wasn't something horrendous like you suggested ? (without being too conspiratorial but IT'S THE BANK!). They are not going to put it front and centre for you!
Said with love/humour...
